My first, if you count obtained by trading, was a shiny male combee that my friend traded me, but caught would be a shiny gastly in a massive mass outbreak.
 
Not counting the free Ponyta, my first shiny was Drifloon. Full odds and totally at random. I was quite happy as Drifloon has a really good shiny and is one of the few yellow shinies that is a solid match for the Mon.
 
Mine still is the free Ponyta--somehow I haven't caught another yet!!
 
A male Combee. I had recently obtained the Wyrdeer ride and was up exploring the Heartwood while taking a break from looking for Eevee. I noticed a cave that lead me to the Grueling Grove, and while trying to run away from the Alpha Heracross I heard the shiny sparkles. I actually had to save and reset once because I just couldn't find the shiny. While looking at the Combee, I thought maybe one of them looked a bit more orange, so I walked up to it. Bam, shiny Combee.
 
Mine was Spheal. I encountered and caught it when I arrived at the Cobalt Coastlands the first time, wasn't even planning on finding any shinies so this one was just random luck.
 
Drifloon x2, it appeared in the first massive mass outbreak in Obsidian Fieldlands.
 
Not counting the Ponyta, my first was a Geodude from the very first mass outbreak I encountered in-game. Was right after I'd talked to an NPC who said they'd seen a different coloured Pokémon, so initially I wasn't sure if that one might be a scripted shiny as well.
 
In a more recent playthrough my first shiny in that file was a shiny Alpha Snorlax (again, discounting the free shiny Ponyta). Full odds and completely at random (I was heading to Ramanos Island to see if I could find a Combee for that stupid side-quest where you have to catch three different Combee from three different areas, especially since finding a Combee on said island is a random drops quest due to it only being available in shaking trees). The big blubber boy took some effort to catch but in the end I made that alpha meatlug mine.
 
Anyone who has gotten the same shiny pokemon multiple times, I feel you. I just got my 3rd shiny machop
 
A Bergmite at Avalugg's Legacy. Heard that noise the shinies make when they pop up and was just like :eek:. (No outbreak or anything either, this was just a random Bergmite.)
 
Saw a shiny Starly almost immediately after entering the Obsidian Fieldlands for the first time, was SO stoked to start the game with a shiny but it flew away before I could throw a ball :bulbaFacepalm:

Other than Ponyta, I found a Graveler in the noble Arcanine’s area, then about a dozen more through various mass outbreaks, although my success rate with finding them at all has been a lot lower than I’d like.

Oof. Has never happened to me but happened to one of my friends and he was soooo sad. :(
 
Mine was a Kricketot of all things. I think this happened as a result of perfecting its Pokédex entry.
 
Both my first and second shiny was a Buizel. Was just riding around on Braviary and heard the sparkle and freaked out trying to find where it came from.
 
Bidoof. Lol. It happens to be the only entry I've 100% completed.
 
I got a shiny Magby on my way off the arcanine trial. Immediately became my main fire and special attack pokemon
